I have a couple of cards Doug has written to me that say “thanks for being there for us,” and those words still mean a lot to me. He used to coach in another state, but now I see, talk to, or text him daily! The best part has been when agents I admire call on him to help them; seeing them trust him with their clients and business makes me proud! I also love when parents of students he coaches tell me that Doug is a great example for their kids.

We think alike, although he might not realize it. We both like marketing, selling, finding just the right home for someone, and finding creative solutions during negotiations. He is great at meeting people and making lasting friendships. He inspires me to learn new things and keep current in order to be a resource when he calls with “a quick question.” It is nice to be able to share my experience and see that it is helpful.

We enjoy dinners with margaritas, playing games, and of course, our pets. He loves coaching and seeing the STX Athletics kids improve, and his father and I love watching him interact with the kids! Real estate has been a great career for me, and working with Doug has made it even better!

When I was young, I remember going to her real estate office and running around, probably driving them all crazy. She and dad were such staunch supporters of mine on the basketball court. Although I claimed to be embarrassed by it at the time, I still remember (and appreciate) her and all of her friends coming to my games at Ray High School with their “We Love #5” and “Go Doug Go” signs.

Her clients and co-workers all love her. Every single real-estate person I come in contact with says, “Oh my, I love your mom!” I want my clients, and my coworkers, to enjoy working with me and to appreciate the value I can provide as well. I love being able to pick my mom’s brain and ask her questions. I used to start every phone call with “I’m sorry to bother you...again...” until she finally told me to stop it because she enjoyed answering my million questions.

I love you, Mom! Thank you for all of the support and prayers!
